He shares his love of spirituality, meditation, and Tantra in a clear and tangible way, and is an inspiration to many around him.

Blandine Wegener

Maria Blandine Wegener is a teacher and life coach for applied yoga and Tantra, implementing elements from a variety of yoga traditions, Ayurveda, and psychology. She gathered her first teaching experiences between 2007 and 2009 teaching Tantra for women courses in Berlin and Copenhagen. From 2009 to 2014 (after four years of extensive teachers education in Denmark), she integrated as yoga and Tantra teacher in Deutsche Akademie fur traditionelles Yoga in Berlin, Germany.

This yoga retreat will take place in Mueang Chiang Mai, Thailand. Surrounded by mountains and lush countryside, Chiang Mai is a laid-back city in northern Thailand with plenty of activities to keep you entertained.

Elephant Nature Park

The Elephant Nature Park is an elephant rescue and rehabilitation center, located sixty kilometers from Chiang Mai. ENP offers an alternative to the elephant tourist shows and elephant riding packages, instead educating tourists about elephants and their natural way of living. Set in a natural valley, bordered by a river and surrounded by forested mountains, visitors have the opportunity to see the rescued elephants roam in their natural environment. Volunteer opportunities area also available.

You get the opportunity to get close to and bond with the elephants at feeding time. Big buckets full of fruits are brought to the platform and before you know it, the elephants arrive, swinging their trunks in front of the visitors in search of their favorite watermelons and pumpkins. Did you know that elephants eat an astonishing 10% of their own body weight every single day? To top that of, later on in the day you’ll also get to bathe some of the elephants in the river.

This is truly a life changing experience and you will never want to ride an elephant again after you’ve visited this special sanctuary. The entrance fee is 2,500 THB including hotel pick up at around 08:00 a.m. and return to Chiang at around 05:00 p.m.

Sticky waterfalls

A number of waterfalls surround the city of Chiang Mai. The ‘Sticky Waterfalls’, officially known as Buatong or Bua Thong waterfalls, is one of the most popular to visit. The waterfalls are called sticky because you can actually climb up the waterfall without slipping. This is possible because of a unique calcification that’s built up over years providing natural steps to climb.

If you have always dreamed of being Spiderman, this is your chance! There is no deep pool to swim in, but you will definitely get wet climbing these waterfalls, so make sure you bring some dry clothes.

Located sixty kilometers outside of the city, it will take approximately an hour to drive to the Sticky Waterfalls on a motorbike. Alternatively, you can rent a songthaew to take you there. If you do take a songthaew, make sure it will be a return trip. This is a pretty remote location and there are no songthaews waiting to bring tourists back to the city. The entrance is free.

Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep

If Chiang Mai would have a middle name, it would be ‘temple city’. There are over three hundred Buddhist temples in Chiang Mai, some dating back to the thirteenth century. To give you an impression, this relatively small historical walled city is home to thirty temples. The signature temple of Chiang Mai, however, is Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep. This historical temple is located high up on the Doi Suthep mountain, is said to have been founded in 1383 and offers a beautiful view over the city.

Many people hire a songthaew (a red taxi truck) to the top, but if you are more adventurous you can rent a motorbike and drive the curvy road up the mountain yourself. The entrance fee is 30 THB for foreigners.

Phenomenal​

PROS Pros: This was an incredible 6 day retreat. I came in with a limited focus of what I would get from the course and I got so much more out of it than I could have ever imagined. The instructors are incredibly gifted at sharing their wealth of knowledge and guiding you into the world of tantra - which is a comprehensive philosophy on how to live a full and juicy life. I couldn't say more wonderful things about the entire experience, I wish it never ended. Thank you!!

"It was a beautiful approach about what really tantra means and I am very happy to have done this Tantra Inmersion with Mahassida Yoga."

"I could appreciate that Blandine and Uriel have studied carefully what they are teaching, and I felt very confident receiving the lessons from them."

"I have done more of this workshops before, and I would say this one gives a great introduction in this huge and wide topic called Tantra."

"The retreat was a life changing experience with lots of beautiful moments, of really self-learning, healing and finding new ways of spiritual living. It was well done by the owners Blanding, Uriel and Angela and it had a great outcome with the group. Maybe the group was a little too big in the end, and I had to upgrade for a bigger single room even if I booked shared room and there was none left to share, but besides that it was a fantastic life event."

" My boyfriend and I attended the 5 Night Yoga Detox and Emotional Healing Retreat with Mahasiddha Yoga. Being new to the yoga scene we were unsure of what to expect. However by the afternoon of the first day we were pleasantly surprised. Love was in the air as everyone embraced each other. The instructors were kind, informative and professional. We thought having to eat vegan all week would be quite challenging but ended up be pleasantly rewarding. The food was absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were hardy and the healthiness of each meal made us feel nourished and energized. The yoga classes were relaxing and informative. The lectures were my favorite. Each day was focused on a certain emotion. The knowledge between our two leaders was profoundly impressive. The openness, acceptance and non-judgement environment while everyone communicated during this time was very comforting. We were all provided with notebooks at the beginning of the retreat where I almost filled it by the end of the week as I wanted to write down all and everything I was learning. Lastly the activities in the evening where we bonded as a group amazed me and left me feeling so loved every night. Everything was well timed out. There was a right about breaks while still ensuring structure, discipline and growth. It was one of the best decisions I have made throughout my travels and am now looking to do another retreat. "

"My wife and I had such a great experience at the Mahasiddha Yoga Tantra Immersion Retreat. The course was well structured with a balanced mix of theory, practical exercises, yoga and meditation. Uriel and Blandine are wonderful teachers and really connected well with the group. I must admit I was a bit aprehensive about the course but once I was there it was clear that I had nothing to worry about. Everybody there was extremely welcoming and it was great to get to know like minded people. Such strong connections were made that will last forever. Thanks again."

"Honestly, I decided to go to this retreat just to change atmosphere and meet new people. And I did not think even, that Chakra is serious thing :) After first few days, I realised, that chakras exist and function for sure and can even work very well and that I can even feel their effects on my emotional and physical state. I fall in love to Tantra, opened my chakras, and also met AMAZING people! It changed my life, put me back to my spiritual path and gave me new friendships. Highly recommending for people who is looking for peace and authentic living."

"Before we come, we were worried the word tantra worries us, because there are some tantra school who focuses uses the word tantra to indulge on on sensual satisfaction."

"Our worries were put to rest. This school does a bit of stretches, a fair bit of knowledge to prepare the body and mind for deep meditation. I am very happy that my level of concentration and focus has improved after a week of tantra retreat with them! We have quite a number of group exercises that have indeed created many magical experiences. Rest your worries, you are in safe hands under Uriel and Blandine."

"Rarely does one come across teachings and teachers that change the course of one's life. The 7-day retreat opened the doors to understanding and living from a very radically new perspective. I learned how to access both Masculine and Feminine principle to align mind, body and soul. Uriel and Blandine are articulate, authentic and astute. They have created this gem of global community connected by the most basic of human needs, love. Infact, they could "explain" "love" to an imbecile like me. So if you ever think there's more to life, do yourself a favor, and spend some time with them."

"I came to Thailand to slow down for a bit and take an extended vacation so I searched for a good yoga program. I tried several, but Tantra Yoga has changed my life. I went on their week long retreat, but have also continued to take the classes that are offered each week. It has transformed how I approach my yoga and meditation practice as well as how I see the world. The teachers give information about each posture that enable you to apply what you practice in everyday life. I didn't know yoga had specific postures to help me with my job and others with my relationships...postures specific to everything in life. I have already signed up for their next retreat and would recommend Tantra Yoga Chiang Mai to everyone! Absolutely amazing!"

"This was such an amazing experience. I did 7 day chakra awakening retreat. Beautiful and peaceful Ashram in the mountains of Chiang Mai. Clean space, basic, but all you need. Super good value for the price. Amazing program, good balance of activities, great teachers!! The organisers are the best host you can imagine, the food was so homey and nourishing prepared with love every day. It was delicious and I miss it already. The swimming pool is very nice. I stayed in a single private room with AC and it was all I needed. The bed is hard, but it is an Ashram and hard matress is good. Nothing is luxurious but everything is just perfect, done with a lot of love and dedication. I'll be back!"

"I attended the 7 days Tantric Mysticism and Yoga Retreat and it was much deeper than I ever thought! The Retreat was held at a beautiful ashram outside Chiang Mai, the teachers and organizers were so professional, loving, kind and very knowledgeable people.... very beautiful people! I was surprised with the depth of the teachings on Kashmir Shivism, a powerful heart opening practice to help us see the Divine in us and everything around us. We had Yoga classes every day (very soft, not high power physical yoga), meditations and lectures, group practices that created a strong bound between the participants...plus amazing meals! It was super beautiful and I highly recommend it to everyone interested in the 'real' Tantra! The only thing I missed was a more intense physical yoga practice, as we spent a lot of time sitting either studying or meditating... besides that it was Amazing!"

"After travelling for 6 months, I felt in need of a silent retreat & spending time to go inwards but also listen to some Buddhist philosophy & insights into life & the mind. This was perfect for me...6 days of not feeling the need to explain myself or answer the usual questions you encounter whilst travelling!! Ariel & Blandine are so insightful & answer questions so clearly & succinctly. They create a very loving & safe atmosphere for everyone. As a yoga teacher I sometimes felt that I wanted more variety but Tantra style is more about sensing & feeling the mind & the body. Amaravati centre is beautiful, amazing views & also a lovely swimming pool. Excellent food too - always salad available as well as cooked. I especially loved the energy balls & the fruit! Everything was wonderful ."

The teachers Uriel&Blandine were the best you could wish, a very nice way of teaching and long experience opened what tantra yoga really is about. This yoga that combines asanas and meditation and contemplation is the best I have done during my 20 years of yoga practice. The vegetarian food that was served was really delicious!"

"I attended the 6-day Silent Yoga and Meditation New Year Retreat with Mahasiddha Yoga school in Chiang Mai this January. It was a most wonderful spiritual and heart opening experience I had in a while which deepened my aspiration and spiritual practice. The combination of Yoga practice, meditation and theory to help with meditation is well balanced and delivered by two wonderful and inspirational teachers, Uriel and Blandine, who generously shared their knowledge and experience with us. The beautiful ashram and the surrounding nature are very inspiring and conducive to spiritual practice. Ahhhh, and the ashram swimming pool provides a wonderful place to rest and enjoy the sunshine. We were nourished with delicious food provided by a lovely cook and a team of Karma yogis who looked after us with love and care. Thank you so much for the unforgettable experience!"

"I had heard about the New Year's Eve 6 day silent retreat in January 2016 from a friend and I was determined to attend the one in December 2016. It was worth waiting a year for it. Uriel and Blandine have abundant wisdom and knowledge to share and all their teachings truly come from the heart. They have created such a special and beautiful community where it feels safe to share, to grow, to express, to ask questions and you feel constantly supported. I had an life changing experience during the retreat and grew spiritually even more than I could have ever imagined. The ashram we stayed at was very simple and beautiful. It was so lovely to be surrounded by the lush green mountains and fresh air. My two favorite parts of each day was waking up in the morning to cool crisp air and meditating in the silence, and going to bed with my heart feeling full of love and Divinely connected after a beautiful evening program. I cannot wait to return to Chiang Mai to do more classes, workshops and retreats with Mahasiddha Yoga (Tantra Yoga CM)."

This spiritual experience is simply amazing. Uriel and Blandine are two beautiful souls sharing their wisdom and knowledge with us, and indeed truly inspirational. I came to the retreat with an open heart, and at the end of retreat, I have some new perspectives into life and more deeply connected to myself. Indeed a life changing experience for me."

"I signed up for the Principles of Polarity retreat knowing very little about tantra. I was looking for a yoga retreat in Thailand, and when I saw the great reviews for this retreat I felt I just had to try it out! Upon arriving I realized it was different than I expected; this isn't the basic yoga retreat. It's a transformative spiritual experience. Whether you choose to follow tantra as your spiritual path or are desiring a refreshed spiritual perspective, you WILL leave this retreat with lessons that will transform your intimate relationships and the way that you engage with the world. Young or young at heart, spiritual seeker or skeptic, I highly recommend checking out Tantra Yoga Chiang Mai and any of their retreats."

"What a rich, life changing experience I had with Mahasiddha yoga in Chiang Mai, through their Tantra Immersion retreat. Without really having a rational reason, I was deeply called to this retreat, so I chose to follow my intuition and put myself fully in it. Within a 6 days I broke through many of my big inner topic, I adopted a meaningful soulful practice of yoga with the focus on expansion of consciousness and inner balance, I opened up for the world that lies beyond mind and words. Thank you so much, Uriel and Blandine and other teachers from Mahasiddha yoga, that you held a space for our exploration and our stepping into our personal paths, for sharing with us the wisdom you've been living and practicing and for opening for us the World led by Love, soul, energy and consciousness. Your authentic, pure, loving way of doing it felt so delicious, the space you created for our group was safe to explore fully and take the very enriching life change out of it. Thank you, warmly recommended for all who are interested to dive in and open up."

"My wife and I were lucky enough to get to attend two different retreats with Mahasiddha Yoga--a lucid dreaming and five elements theory retreat, and a masculine/feminine polarity retreat. We were so engaged by our experiences that they were a large part of our decision to return to Thailand between the two retreats, and moreover to stay in Chiang Mai for a few months so we could continue going to their regular men's and women's groups, workshops, and classes...with one great experience after another, we were always happy to return, and we're already looking forward to heading back to Thailand and the school when we can!"

"I have had a number of spiritual retreats before, like Vipassana and some others. For couple of years this idea of the opposite approach, tantra, has always been with me. Finally when I have moved to Chiang Mai it happened. I went to the tantra immersion week course. The teachers, the course itself, the place, all of the students have created the magic of another big step towards transforming self into more accepting and balanced being."

"I've done some spiritual stuff and read some books and have a personal practice, but nothing has opened as many doors for me in the last 20 years as this week's lucid dream retreat did. The teaching is simply exceptional, there's nothing else I've encountered that is so utterly founded in practice and real life experience. Imagine somebody telling you you can fly, and then showing you how. That's how unbelievable it was. The horizon of spirit feels once again limitless for me, and that is a miracle."

"A word about the ashram where the retreat was held: it far surpassed every imagination I had about it. The place is a palace and has a huge energy of its own. The food was dynamite. I couldn't recommend Mahassidha more to anybody, without any caveats whatsoever."

They are so full of knowledge and passion for what they do and it is beyond inspiring to be a part of. My mind is blown, i cannot believe how much they have changed my life. This is coming from a girl with very little yoga experience and no meditation experience! I left the retreat a completely different person...with so much spiritual existence and so much gratitude for the world. My soul is alive, and i feel incredible. So clean, so energized and so joyful!

"Wow! Every time I sit down to one of these workshops I am sent spinning in my mind for the upcoming days. There is an abundance of wisdom and opportunity in this group. Try it out! You won't regret it! "

"This is so much more than a community but more a family to come home to. You can always expect an intentional embrace, a genuine smile and knowledge communicated from the heart from Uriel, Blandine and Angela. I have been to numerous workshops focusing on topics such as Sensuality, Polarity, Chakras, and many more which have always lead to deep connection with myself and others. Their retreats, held in the tranquil and stunning Amaravati Resort, just 20 mins out of town, have been well designed to include time to reflect on the pieces of wisdom shared, connection with the surrounding nature, yoga, meditation and even contributing to the community by giving of your time and energy to help take care of the meal service. The organic meals were exquisitely planned and prepared with love by the culinarily-talented, Carly Noel, and made me, a meat-eater, want to turn vegan! Most recently, I have attended the Women's Circle and it has been so fulfilling to have a sisterhood made of all sorts of women, who are all open to sharing, accepting and growing together. Blandine and Angela lead the circle in a fluid and feminine way, embodying the essence of the various topics they teach. I love this family and would encourage anyone to do themselves a favor and considering being adopted into it. "

Overall the mood and feeling created, enhanced, and nurtured by the leaders was made this retreat special. The facilities and pool are very conducive to learning and relaxing. I shall return. "

Review by Mychael Scott

"Words cannot express my feeling for Mahasiddha Yoga community in Chiang Mai. I was lucky to find them during my stay in Chaing Mai. I look at the Uriel, Blandine, and Angela as family and mentors of mine. They are extremely impressive people that really live a yogi type lifestyle and has tons of experience, knowledge and stories about their path throughout their yogi journey. They are literally an open book and if you have a chance to meet them, I would advise you do just that. They, along with the quality of people that the community attracts, have all had a positive impact on my life. "

Review by Meghan from United States

"I haved loved this retreat coming from a few months teaching in a stressful environment it was good to focus inward and meet people who also want to create and participate in a spiritual community. Blandine and Orielle were great supports and teachers (sorry if I spelled your names wrong) and provided a lot of energy and love to the group."

"This was one of the best experiences in my three month trip to South East Asia. While just graduating University, unsure of my next steps in life and being far from home, this was exactly what I needed. The experience I shared with the people at this retreat will forever be unforgettable. I am truly inspired and excited to take on lifes challenges."

Review by Allison Rosster from United States

"Ive been to four of Uriel and Blandines retreats (so far). Each one is different, but they all have one thing in common: they are always thought-provoking, illuminating, centering, fun and inspiring. Uriel and Blandine know their stuff and are very loving and innovative. The retreat center is gorgeous and the food is healthy, creative and super yummy."

Review by Jonny from United States

"For me the retreat was a powerful experience. It made me look more clearly at my life and face some personal weaknesses, but it also made me see how many of my limitations are self-imposed and so opened up new horizons. The retreat settling was peaceful and spacious. The facilitators were amazing - insightful, generous and open-hearted in a way that offers a strong container for personal growth."

Review by Zoe from Singapore

"The retreat was a deep learning experience for me and I enjoyed it very much. It was an opportunity to quiet my mind and listen to my heart. I really liked the lectures because they helped me gain a very different perspective about what being conscious truly means. This way of seeing possibilities in my work and relationships has given me more peace, hope and joy, mentally and emotionally."

Review by Grit and her daughter, Ruby from Germany

"Magical, wonderful, spirtual! Those are just a few words to describe a wonderfilled week with the Tantra yogis. My 8 months old daughter and I felt welcomed, included and loved. Our hearts were wide open and our soul connected deeply with every single one of the other beings. The week at the ashram was mindful and a treat for body and spirit. It was exactly what we needed and I would go back any time."

Review by Carly from United States

"Ive been on two retreats with Tantra yoga Chiang Mai (silent 5-day and detox 3-day). I loved them so much Im getting ready to go on their next one soon! The value is way above the price (which is really affordable, especially compared to other retreats). The schedule is always well-organized, leaving space for free time yet full of content and activities (most of which are totally optional). The teachers are expertly prepared, supportive, and coming from a place of pure love. Ive never had so much fun doing spiritual work - it feels like were kids again, playing in this castle that is the beautiful Ashram. Oh and the food is superb."

Review by Neta from Israel

"Words could never describe the incredible experiences I had in the retreat. I think this retreat was one of the best thing I have done. such a loving, powerful and meaningful experience. I learned how to find peace, strength and love in everything and everyone. And, the most wonderful thing was the privilege to be part from a new tantric family - a combination of an amazing people who are connecting in a very deep and loving level. To conclude, I am recommending this retreat experience to every being."

Review by Yum from United States

"I joined this beautiful place and people less than a month ago. We can do all that online yoga and do youtube meditation and guru talks but not me! I need a real teacher who knows the subject and the real community of real people. I am very lucky to land here. and I'll tell this: everybody can teach asanas, not everyone can teach you how to get in touch with your body and heart. The teacher is one who guides, enlightens and motivates. If I find the teacher I want to breathe the same air he/she does. That's why I m here. There are many facts of Tantra but Im learning and using many practical tools for every day life that help me to get more grounded, heal my physical condition, become more open and confident, explore myself deeper in atmosphere of love and unity.P.S. It is very affordable, workshops are very well prepared and presented, you always get something useful to take home."
